Ok, so of all the different rabbit holes to dive into, this week’s chasm happens to be axe handles. I prefer a double bit for splitting wood and have always had one around that just worked. It swung well two handed and was kind of an arm extension for single handed kindlin’ splitting. Well a kid we have help out from time to time broke the handle and dammit if I can find a good replacement that feels right. The old one was already tossed out when I got around to looking for its replacement, so that easy button of just comparing it to available ones ain’t available. Hardware store store handles feel like complete garbage. Anyone have a favorite axe handle maker?
-an oddity-Just about every handle I see is hickory. Kinda remember the grain of the wood I pulled out of the head looking a bit like mahogany-
